Awesome sauce

// November 28th, 2011 // No Comments // Blog Stuff, General

For some reason I always approach a database core upgrade with some trepidation. Perhaps it is because in the past, I’ve had to spend hours fixing the entire site – see A minor refresh as an example of what happened in April this year. This time I was (a little) more prepared. Armed with fresh [...]

Can I be your friend?

// November 16th, 2011 // 1 Comment // Funnies, Social media, Tech

When was the last time you came up to someone and asked if you could “poke” or “follow” them? So why do we do it “online”? A light-hearted and somewhat scary look at what happens when our “online” and “offline” activities meet.

Earlier this year, around September 2011, I attended the Compubrand Brand Summit in partnership with Microsoft. One of the presentations by Microsoft’s Alexandre Michelin (Executive producer MSN EMEA) really grabbed my attention.

Got this interesting result, taking a picture of the moon earlier tonight. I didn’t realise that the moon would reflect in the camera lens, giving it an appearance that we may have two moons. It even looks like a sun and a moon. Love the greenish glow of the reflection and the purple/pinkish tint in [...]
